Windows Server 2008 RDS Server

I'm trying to figure out how to set this up to serve a couple outside users a virtual desktop.. can somebody point me to this documentation? MS docs seem convoluted with too much info and too general..

I've also looked at virtualbox but it doesn't seem like I'll be able to provide a remote connection to those virtual desktops. Any suggestions on opensource or other remote desktop/ virtual desktop software?
If you only have a few users, Citrix is the way I'd go.
Hi there.

I may be able to advise a few ideas, if you give a bit more info. For starters, are you looking just to have an isolated user session on the same server (using technology like Remote Desktop, running multiple user sessions on one 'computer'), or do you want completely segregated virtual machine machines, running isolated 'computers' that are accessible remotely for each user?

Hope that makes sense - reading your two comments, I'm not sure what direction you'd like to take...
Hello, I've been able to do this by using Vista Business Desktop VM's running on ESXi 4.1.

Does Citrix offer a free solution such as this and will it provide better performance?

For what your situation is, I agree with Blue Mercury's assessment.  Citrix would be better for a larger scale operation.

And XenServer and the XenCenter software is completely free :)....unless you need their support, and other things.
Hey Ryan - my apologies, I stand corrected, I haven't clocked Citrix had free versions! Makes sense with the competition that they would be facing in the market from MS & VMware, if they didn't have some freebie foundation offering. I haven't looked properly at any of Citrix's recent offerings, as I must confess I've been firmly routed in the WMware camp for some years now.

I note from the comparison chart that (like the ESXi freebie) that its scope is a little more restricted than paid for / supported versions: http://www.citrix.com/English/ps2/products/subfeature.asp?contentID=2300456

Thanks for correction, I've learnt a little something there :)
Running VMware with 2 vm's seems kinda slow. (2 vista desktops on top of ESXi)

Thanks for all the help and info! We are using our ssl web vpn instead of RDS to avoid more licensing costs. Thanks!
Windows RDS server has much better performance. Multiple user sessions running all apps, etc.
